Jennifer Hudson -- whose mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were brutally murdered in Chicago last October -- received some good news on Wednesday from the NAACP Image Awards.

The Oscar winner garnered seven nominations including best new recording artist, best female recording artist, best duo (with Fantasia) and best supporting actress (The Secret Life of Bees).

Congrats to Jennifer. Sick of Beyonce. Alicia Keys is also nominated, she gets overlooked a lot. Congrats to her as well.

I hope whatever category that has them both as nominees, Jennifer wins! In the past, Beyonce acted as if she is more deserving and entitled to be the winner whether its an award or the spotlight. It's obvious she feels threatened by Jennifer who I think is a real talent not a 'created' one.

I think it would help the healing if we didn't have to stamp the murder on every story about Jennifer. Can we congratulate her on an accomplishment without reminding her of her tragedy? Come on writers......
